I do have Windows 7 (C:) and Windows 8 (D:) alongside. Previously, I had MS Office 2010 on my Windows 7. When MS Office 2013 released, I have uninstalled MS Office 2010. When I was installing the setup says “setup failed” without any error code.

I have tried to change the location to D: or E:, the same happens.
But it was successfully installed on Windows 8. I changed local drive to C: (Win 7 partition) due to insufficient memory.
I have done restarts several times. No Luck!!

because latest office are coming like ms2013 has come so old are becoming worse

So you have Windows 7 on C:/ Drive. Windows 8 on D:/ Drive. you have installed Office on you Windows 8 OS but on Windows 7 C:/ Drive, that could be your problem your Office may come up with that error because it may be preventing you from installing on the same drive but for 2 Windows OS. I would try to uninstall Office from your C:/ Drive but via your Windows 8 OS then reinstall Office on your C:/ Drive via Windows 7 OS.

If you not uninstalling your office 2010 it can upgrade to office 2013. but, in this case you failed to install offc 2013 on your computer. so, did you can install office 3013 with same installation cd to another computer? if you cannot install it. your office 2013 is corrupt. redownload is best way. but if the installer can install ofice 2013 on another computer. you might to clean Registry with some applicayion (like:CCleaner), clean and instaall again

Hello, given all the steps you have tried already to fix your problem, I would recommend for you to visit the forums for Office related issues in the Microsoft Community. Here is the link:

It's really weird that there's no error code – how are you supposed to fix the problem? You could try using the FixIt option here to completely remove Office 2010 – perhaps the problem is a bit of the program is still there. Sorry I can't be more precise, but this is what I'd try.

also be sure that you can make restore points on windows 7 just do one restore point before installing office 2013, i think office 2013 will try to make a restore point and if somehow windows restore point center is corrupted then installation will fail.

You can copy the appropriate Office product and language files to the local computer, and then run Setup from that local installation source. But, users must be local administrators on their computers to run the Office Setup program and install Office.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ee624360

let us know the outcome

Still nothing works for me.
Removed Rgstrtn.lck file and even deleted some registry keys.
The same error happened in Clean boot too and even tried safe mode. ( the installer showed the error instantly)
Also tried to install word alone by customized installation.

copy the installtion files to the root of your hard drive containing windows normally C:
go to run and type cmd, right click on cmd and launch as administrator
1) type cd/ and click enter
2) now type: run office(look the name).exe, or just install office(look the name).exe or just office(look the name).exe and hit enter

1. Right click on the office 2013 setup file then click on the ‘Properties’ option.
2. Click on the compatibility tab.
3. Uncheck ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’

Those two link again gave me a hope. I will Try and post about the status here !!!
Thank you for your effort !!!

Even those haven't worked for me. So I decided to Install Windows 7 again using my Sony vaio factory reset and I have Installed the Office successfully. But I realized a very big issue now.

I have Windows 7 and windows 8 alongside.
I am not getting any start up screen options/menu after the re installation of Windows 7 on my C: drive. But the contents and OS file as are there in D: drive. Even msconfig doesn't have any option.

I don't want to install windows 8 again but I just want to get into it as before because some important data and programs are there at windows 8.
